Last month, Disney announced its proposal to reopen Downtown Disney on July 9th, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on July 17th, and select hotels on July 23rd.

And while Downtown Disney will be moving forward with its plans to welcome back guests starting this Thursday, the other Disneyland Resort reopenings have been delayed.

Since it is unknown when Disney’s Californian Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Resort will reopen, we chatted with a Disneyland Resort Cast Member who confirmed these hotels are no longer accepting new bookings for the month of July. The earliest new reservation you can now make is August 1st. It is also still unknown when the Disneyland Hotel will reopen.

The Cast Member also informed us that the standard reservation cancellation policy has been re-instated.

Previously, the policy stated Disney would waive cancellation fees through July 22nd. Now the policy says they will work with guests that may have been impacted by the closure with no specific date listed. As of today, here’s how Disneyland Resort’s cancellation fee policy now reads on its website.

The friendly Cast Member also informed us it is still unknown at this time when Disneyland Resort’s theme parks and hotels will reopen. We’ll continue to keep an eye on Disneyland’s homepage for the most up-to-date information regarding Disneyland’s phased reopening and we’ll let you know as soon as Disneyland releases more information soon!

While Disneyland has already extended the expiration dates for its park tickets, we’ve been waiting to hear about other types of tickets including Military Salute Tickets.

So far, there hasn’t been any word on whether or not these tickets would be extended. But today, Disneyland has updated its website and provided new details on when 2020 Military Salute Tickets are set to expire.

If you’ve obtained a 2020 Military Salute Ticket, you may be relieved to know Disneyland has finally extended your ticket’s expiration date! 2020 Military Salute Tickets will be automatically extended through December 16th, 2021.

Blockout dates will still apply, but the tickets may still be used on non-consecutive days.

Keep in mind you will still need to obtain a park reservation in order to use your 2020 Military Salute Tickets when the parks reopen.

NEWS: Orange County California Is No Longer Requiring Face Coverings

Disneyland’s reopening plan isn’t the only news coming out of California this week!

Disneyland Main Entrance

Orange County, in which Disneyland is located, has revised its policy regarding face masks.

On May 22nd, an order was issued that required everyone to wear a face covering in public when they were unable to maintain distance between others. This was released in conjunction with the Stage 2 reopening of additional businesses in Orange County.

However, as of June 11th, the face covering rule has been relaxed from a requirement to a suggested measure.

Orange County is also preparing to reopen additional businesses outlined in Stage 3 of the state’s reopening plan, beginning tomorrow. These businesses include bars and breweries, gyms and fitness centers, movie theaters, hotels, museums, and campgrounds.

Does your local government have a face mask policy? Let us know in the comments?

California Is Set to Move to Stage 3 of Reopening Tomorrow — Here’s What That Means

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 11, 2020

Now that Disneyland has submitted its proposed reopening dates and parts of Universal CityWalk in Hollywood have already begun to reopen, Califonia’s phased reopening plan seems to be chuggin’ along.

Hollywood Sign

Stage 3 of Governor Newsom’s plan will go into effect this Friday which will means that more locations and businesses will receive the green light to reopen.

While Newsom’s plan has four stages, most of the state entered stage two in May. California’s reopening has been more gradual than other parts of the country and Newsom says counties still have the option of moving forward slower than the rest of the state if they choose to do so.

Universal Studios

Dine-in restaurants, houses of worship, hair salons, and non-essential retail stores were allowed to reopen last month at each counties’ discretion. Once stage 3 begins on Friday, the following locations may resume assuming all health guidelines and necessary safety precautions (limited capacity, social distancing, increased sanitation) are implemented:

Schools
Day Camps
Bars
Gyms
Campgrounds
Professional Sports

For schools and day camps, only counties that are below the threshold of cases will be permitted to reopen (which almost every county meets). The state will provide further guidance (including rules) on how hotels, casinos, museums, zoos, and aquariums can safely operate as well as the filming of television and movie productions and recording of music can resume.

Universal Studios Hollywood

Since California officials have stated Disneyland will be allowed to reopen in stage three, we’re eager to see if the proposed dates are finalized soon.

NEWS! Resort Hotel Booking is Currently Unavailable On the Disneyland Website

Earlier today, Disneyland Resort released a reopening proposal!

If the proposal is approved by state and local governments, Downtown Disney will open July 9, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will open July 17, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen July 23 (Disneyland Hotel will remain closed initially).

NOTE — This issue appears to be resolved. The Grand Californian and Paradise Pier are currently able to be booked on the Disneyland website.

When the news was released, Disneyland placed a temporary pause on new ticket sales, Annual Pass sales, and renewals. And now, it appears that hotel bookings are currently unavailable on the Disneyland website as well!

We noticed an error message on the page for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa that indicates booking is currently unavailable. Even if we attempted to search for availability several months in the future, we were cycled back to this same page.

And we ran into the same situation when we checked Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.

We were also unable to book Good Neighbor hotels on the Disneyland website, BUT we were still able to make reservations for Good Neighbor locations directly through those hotel’s websites. We’ll keep you posted on any new info as it’s released.
